Description
Using this <js>alert($('<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"><head><title>Test</title></head><body>InnerHTML\'s body</body></html>').html());</js>
It display me "Test". So the TITLE element's content. Can't get any one of the HTML, HEAD or BODY element. Can access the element in the BODY element but not those which is in the HEAD element.

You can't swallow a whole html document with $("html"); whatever you pass in as a string has to be valid within a div:

As an alternative, you could use an XML parser ouside of jQuery if the markup is valid XML and pass that to $() instead.

FWIW, I've written a plugin called jQuery htmlDoc that attempts to address this issue. It probably needs more testing, but in my basic tests it works well:
All the element is finally put "the one after the other". Just removing the HTML, HEAD, and BODY elements. so that html
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en"><head><title>Test</title></head><body>InnerHTML\'s body</body></html>
looks like this
<title>Test</title>InnerHTML\'s body
